Sure, although we should probably have only one "official" repository
clone, and ideally at the same place we would find developer forks too.

What I really like is that it's based on gitweb, so it pretty much the
"standard" for git web interface just like ViewCVS is the standard for
CVS web... There's no bells and whistles, just a simple and efficient
interface.

Indeed this one looks nice; what I didn't like is how hard (non obvious)
it is to find the forks. They associate projects/forks to their owner
instead of the opposite. On the plus side there's a wiki which  would be
nice to have imo (unless we squat in nagioscommunity.org), but we're
looking for git hosting here...

My idea there was having development eventually move to NagiosForge,
although even then Git can be somewhere else... IIRC the latest GForge
RC1 has a limited functionality git plugin, and the upcoming RC2 should
have a properly integrated one.

Agreed, but I didn't bothered much about it because I wanted to link
directly to the project page anyways. At first I wanted to use it until
I realized there's not much you can do on their web interface.

Time is a constraint there... There's a lot of work just to get rid of
SVN... Beside the script for snapshots, I'll have to remove all $Id$'s
and implement a workaround, and I'll write a script to get back
commits/merges into subversion to keep it working for a few months.

There's no plans to move off Sourceforge. Oh, if you're interested I
managed to mirror git on SourceForge's web servers (push via shell and
gitweb on the web server), although the Git version I found for it is
very old - they use some stone-age based distro... FC2 I think. They
reportedly allow this kind of web space use and even increase quotas on
demand for that. :)

Thanks for your feedback
